The Bellinger deal is not really a 3 year deal but rather a 1 year/$30M deal with player options. One year with pillows, essentially. Nice deal for the Cubs. Bellinger will get a shot to repeat 2023, if he does he'll get over $200M this time next year

So far, Twins have lost Maeda, Sonny, and Mahle to FA, as well as Pagan, Gallo, & Floro. Unlikely they bring back Michael A Taylor or Donovan Solano. Now, they move Polanco for a top 100 prospect. Not seeing an attempt to get better or even maintain for 2024

Jung Ho Lee is a 5 time GG and 2022 MVP from the KBO. He's gonna get on base at a .350+ clip, and he's gonna play great outfield defense for you. He may never steal 30 or hit 30 HR, but I wouldn't be surprised if he hit .285-290
